In the loop August 28: Google, Brexit lobby and Uber’s expansion

This week POLITICO’s lobbying reporter James Panichi chats with Nicholas Hirst, POLITICO’s antitrust & competition reporter on the progress in the European Commission’s investigation into Google.

Reporter Tara Palmeri joins to talk about the ongoing developments with digital car-sharing service Uber. Taxi union leaders are skeptical of the expansion slated for September in Brussels and they continue to fight against Uber’s current budget service, UberPop.

James speaks about his article on power lobbyist Peter Mandelson, a former European Commissioner. The European Commission has rejected British media reports that he is officially advising the EU on how to prevent Brexit, a U.K. exit from the bloc.
